I verified that the host exists in bb-hosts. This is what I get in the

anything else I could think of, but nothing looks out of place.

Log entries:

2005-02-17 17:54:36 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984

Well, something is using port 1984 then.

What does a "netstat -na | grep 1984" say ?

If this is a Linux box, try running (as root) "netstat -ntlp | grep 1984"
That should give you the proces-ID and name of the program listening
on port 1984.
